Starting off Sunday with a roast dinner, I had to go with the roast beef gravy Yorkshire pudding roasted potatoes and veg. and it was excellent. The meal was all I could want in a Sunday dinner and finished with a wonderful dessert. The pub main floor is beautifully decorated with perfectly sized rooms that give you a little bit of privacy, the bay window at the front is a great spot to sit and look out the window on a beautiful day. The building is over 400 years old and just a treat to visit. The wedding itself was set up in their back room The Stables, Kes and her team knocked it out of the park the place was decorated beautifully and you couldn't ask for a better service. All the meals came out without a hitch and everybody seemed to enjoy them, the cake was set up and displayed beautifully and again the service was top notch. And then an evening spread came out, perfectly cut finger sandwiches so many different kinds all so fresh also sausage rolls, quiche, man what a meal. The Horse and Groom is a perfect location for your pre-party and your wedding, with a beautiful setup in the Stables. Oh and of course let's not forget the Inn part, the rooms are just magical upstairs in the top of a 400-year-old pub are some most beautifully decorated rooms. Our room was The Avon up three flights of stairs perched in the very top of the beautiful pub through a magical little door slips you in to a perfectly sized room very well appointed with a nice bed that boy I slept well in, not to mention the bathroom was beautiful the overall stay could not have been better. If you ever get a chance to book the Inn and have your dinner and have your wedding in the Stables this is a perfect destination, it should for sure be considered.

Again, another excellent country pub. I feel more passionate about this one in comparison to the…read moreothers I've visited. It comes across more uniformly with the professionalism of a restaurant - yet with the aesthetics of a pub; and not just any pub, but a very smart and shiny one. I was taken here on a date once and thoroughly impressed with the taster menu for the pudding. There must have been at least seven or eight individual puddings on our tray. Second time around, I was taken with friends on a Sunday (they allowed a dog - which is good if you like dogs - a bit distracting if not). The alternative to Sunday roast - was nut roast - but done with a fantastic meaty consistency and flavour. I was left wanting more. The price was reasonable, and less than I had expected to pay. Although lunch was great - I feel there is more to be had from this place if you're going for dinner. Look out for the authentic wall illustrations - these are originals and signed by the author. Of course there are vintage photgraphs of hunting and grooming scenes - but this didn't bother me so much. It's all done in a 'Ralph Lauren' stage-set sort of way - but works elegantly. I can't wait to go back and try something new. I anticipate this will be great in the summer as there's lots of parking and outdoor space.

The Red Lion, at the threshold of Lacock in the Cotswolds, was the perfect place to stop for lunch! My hubby got the fish & ships, while I chose the ham & eggs brunch! Both meals was exceptionally tasty! You order inside at the bar, and your food is brought to you. Utensils and condiments are located at a little cart outside near the door if you choose to sit outside. It's a lovely view with loads of flowers and blooms, hence the bees. We loved the architecture and stonework of this beautiful old pub! Don't miss this golden nugget of a village!

We waited 10 minutes for a menu, the food was awful, beef Sunday roast looked and tasted like school dinners, it had been under the hot plate for so long that most of the beef had dried up and was crispy. 3 soggy 'roast' potatoes and a tiny bowl of overcooked veg accompanied our crispy beef, it's safe to say we won't ever be back

It was fairly busy but quite quiet. There are several areas in the pub, one of which had a TV. We sat at a table near the pool table. The staff could not have been more courteous or friendly and the food was excellent. We all (BTW, we're all way above retirement age) enjoyed the visit and would unhesitatingly recommend the Eagles Vault as a good choice for lunch. Pete Beckett, (visiting from USA)
